Encoding presets

There are a number of presets that can be used when encoding video. These presets are pre-defined sets of parameters that are optimized for various use cases, such as streaming, web, or high-quality video production.

Here are the presets available:

  • ultrafast: This preset provides the fastest encoding speed with lower quality output.
  • superfast: This preset provides faster encoding than ultrafast with slightly better quality.
  • veryfast: This preset provides a good balance between speed and quality.
  • faster: This preset provides faster encoding than veryfast with slightly lower quality.
  • fast: This preset provides a good balance between speed and quality, suitable for most use cases.
  • medium: This preset provides a better quality than fast and is suitable for most applications.
  • slow: This preset provides a high quality output but with slower encoding speed.
  • slower: This preset provides an even higher quality output than slow but with even slower encoding speed.
  • veryslow: This preset provides the highest quality output but with the slowest encoding speed.

The above presets are ordered from the fastest to the slowest encoding speed and from the lowest to the highest quality output. You can use these presets as a starting point for your encoding needs and customize them according to your specific requirements.
